Title: Reload Aircraft, Anyway to do it.
Post by: mustang60348 on February 06, 2013, 08:17:04 am

I know how to reload the .js file inside Outerra. BUT , is there a way to reload the .xml , aircraft (model) metrics file within outerra.

that would be nice!!... it would eliminate the need to use other software to test slight changes in the parameters of the code.

And btw... is there any chance that you have planned to make some kind of more elaborate interface for those files? ( as and idea I'm thinking you should make an optional option to import the current premade JSBSim model by the box.I think as default it should create a folder and all the basic files with no values in them, and we should open and fill those values by ourselves.Or add extra parameters, depending on what we need. )

I mean... it would be nicer to use Outerra for fast testing of the values and not look around in other neighbours yards, just because we can do it faster in their yard. ;D

I will add the FDM reload too, yes you are right it will speedup FDM tuning...

I the future we can integrate aeromatic from JSBSim or something similar into the importer:

Also "reload textures" for selected objects (aircraft or vehicle, and maybe static objects too) would be nice.

+1 For texture reload (For all types of models).
Just in case, was it implemented since last message?

Not yet, there were couple of fixes towards it, but there's still some issue with resources not being freed correctly.
